The arrival of Islam in India and the formation of Islamic governments led to the formation of a certain type of Islamic architecture in this subcontinent. The architecture of Indian mosques is evaluated as a prominent model of Islamic architecture of subcontinent. This study is based on the assumption that the pattern of Indian mosques architecture is a combination of early Iranian-Islamic architecture of mosques and Indian vernacular architecture. Finding the roots of Architectural features of Indian mosques is the subject of this article. In this paper, the influence of early Islamic mosques’ architecture and rich and historical architecture of India on Indian mosques architecture before the arrival of Islam and the architecture of developed Islamic civilizations in the Indian neighborhoods such as Iran, is studied. Generally Indian mosques architectural features include prayer-hall in the Qibla direction, existence of courtyard, Four-Iwan pattern, crusts odd divisions, especially triple ones, presence of mosque in plaza and its position on a Soffeh (in height), access to the mosque entrances by wide stairs, triple divisions of Gonbad Khane in the Qibla direction and the use of transparent porticos around courtyard (Half of the outer crust that has external view).

  • Recognition of Light-Openings in Iranian Mosques' Domes with Reference to Climatic Properties
    International Journal of Architectural Engineering & Urban Planning Recognition of light-openings in Iranian mosques’ domes With reference to climatic properties Mohammadjavad Mahdavinejad1,*, Soha Matoor2, Amene Doroodgar3 Received:June 2011, Accepted: November 2011 Abstract Mosque architecture is considered as a potent visual symbol of the Islamic architects’ design ability. Prayer-hall as the manifestation of equality between the believers and the unity of architectural space has challenged such an ability throughout the history. This study, considering the characteristics of light-openings in the domes of Iranian mosques’ Prayer-hall, aims to investigate these domes’ possible relationship with the climatic features of each mosque. To this end, eighteen case-studies according to the research analytic approach are studied to determine: 1. the relationship between the mosques construction period (Iranian architecture styles) and its light-openings number on the one hand and its climatic features on the other hand, 2. The relationship between the light-openings’ location and the climatic features of each mosque, 3. The relationship between the light- openings’ number and the climatic feature of each mosque and finally, 4. The relationship between the prayer-hall’s height and the number of light openings of each mosque on the one hand and its climatic feature on the other hand. The study shows that Iranian architects have given considerable priority to the natural ventilation function of the light-openings, So, what used to be considered as the domes' main function, allowing the light to the interior space, is considered as their secondary function. Keywords: Light-opening, Light, Natural ventilation, Hot-dry climate, Cold climate, Mosque prayer-hall 1.

The architecture of this period is known as a good example of harmony with the environment, which is a result of various climatic, historical, economic, cultural and political factors and have had the greatest impact and benefit fromthe continental and social and politicalconditions of Ilkhani and Seljuk periods. Timurid mosques of Iran are from the important elements of Islamic architecture in terms of architectural form and decorations that need to be reviewed in these two factors.

According to this theory “Niasar cross-vault and other cross-vaults of Iran has calendar function and are constructed in a way that sunrise and sunset can be seen from one of its openings in the beginning and middle of each season of year”. But, mentioning historical documentaries we conclude here that the theory of calendar function of Iran’s cross-vaults does not have any strong basis and individual cross-vaults had only religious function in Iran.

  • Chishti Sufis of Delhi in the LINEAGE of HAZRAT PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN
    Chishti Sufis of Delhi IN THE LINEAGE OF HAZRAT PIR-O-MURSHID INAYAT KHAN Compiled by Basira Beardsworth, with permission from: Pir Zia Inayat Khan A Pearl in Wine, The “Silsila-i Sufian”: From Khwaja Mu’in al-Din Chishti to Sayyid Abu Hashim Madani Sadia Dehlvi Sufism, The Heart of Islam, and The Sufi Courtyard, Dargahs of Delhi All the praise of your advancement in this line is due to our masters in the chain who are sending the vibrations of their joy, love, and peace. - Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, in a letter to Murshida Rabia Martin There is a Sufi tradition of visiting the tombs of saints called ziyarah (Arabic, “visit”) or haazri (Urdu, “attendance”) to give thanks and respect, to offer prayers and seek guidance, to open oneself to the blessing stream and seek deeper connection with the great Soul. In the Chishti lineage through Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan, there are nine Pirs who are buried in Delhi, and many more whose lives were entwined with Delhi. I have compiled short biographies on these Pirs, and a few others, so that we may have a glimpse into their lives, as a doorway into “meeting” them in the eternal realm of the heart, insha’allah. With permission from the authors, to whom I am deeply grateful to for their work on this subject, I compiled this information primarily from three books: Pir Zia Inayat Khan, The “Silsila-i Sufian”: From Khwaja Mu’in al-Din Chishti to Sayyid Abu Hashim Madani, published in A Pearl in Wine Sadia Dehlvi, Sufism, The Heart of Islam, and The Sufi Courtyard, Dargahs of Delhi For those interested in further study, I highly recommend their books – I have taken only small excerpts from their material for use in this document.

  • (Manouchehri Damghani and Farrokhi Sistani) with the Paintings of the Eighth Century AH
    The Comparison of Appeal of the Praised One in Khorasani Style (Manouchehri Damghani and Farrokhi Sistani) with the Paintings of the Eighth Century AH Abstract Art of expression partakes diverse fields and is one of the most comprehensive and concurrently the most interesting type expression is manifested in art, the use of which undoubtedly has a significant impact on the production of quality and luxurious artwork since art is a form of expression and expression is also a practice of art. Meanwhile, in the study of poetry, as an artistic phenomenon, the first phenomenon that attracts the attention is the poet's artistic expression. Works of art, including poetry, act as a prism that presents a diverse perspective from each angle, and the collection of these perspectives provides a general and comprehensive depiction of the prism. One of the significant feature of poets is their relationship with elders and courtiers as for means of encouragement and support, hence, in the poems of such poets, the association between the poet and the praised one is clearly perceived. Among them, poets such as Farrokhi and Manouchehri have addressed “the praised one” in their poetry. This article intends to study and apply the artistic expression of poets such as Farrokhi and Manouchehri in the request for admiration from “the praised one”; moreover, the comparison of such appeals in poetry with the paintings of the eighth century AH is also focused upon. The category of request and appeal, which is one of the sub-branches of lyrical literature, has appeared in the poetry of the mentioned poets in various means and in their poetry they have expressed this feature in an artistic and diverse manner.
